"After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011… It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously, and fairly. I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter." ~Lady Vanessa Long
The First lady of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, GA has filed for Divorce from the Mega Church's Pastor, Bishop Eddie L. Long. It was less than a year ago that The Bishop was accused of coercing four young men from his congregation into having sex.
I have to give her credit, she lasted much longer than I thought she would. She stood beside him during it all. But I cannot say that I did not see this coming because In June, The Church denied rumors that Lady Long was moving out of their home.
I ask that you continue to keep the Long Family and The New Birth Church in Prayer. I sincerely pray that the court case is done quickly and in a civilized Christian manner that will not cause for much media attention, which will cause more damage to the body of Christ.
Before you comment/think negatively about the Bishop of his Wife, Remember You would Not want ANYONE to Attack your Pastor/Leader for Their Shortcomings......
